Today I was thinking of summer and the long walks we took in a nearby forest. Oh, that scent of the woodland, a magical scent that instantly calms my mind.
While taking the unknown footpaths and wandering around I soak in the colors, sounds, and smells of a forest. The slight breeze feels perfect and the sun is shyly peeking through the leaves. Simply resting my eyes on the lush green colors makes me forget about the busy world out there.
It’s only me and the forest. How beautiful and complete it makes me feel. My mind becomes still.
